🚀 Hosted Version

Try it live on the hosted version (paid).

🛠 Getting Started

The app has a React/Vite frontend and a FastAPI backend.

Keys needed:

OpenAI API key with access to GPT-4
Anthropic key (optional) - only if you want to use Claude Sonnet, or for experimental video support.

Run the backend (I use Poetry for package management - pip install poetry if you don't have it):

bash

cd backend
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
poetry install
poetry shell
poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001

If you want to use Anthropic, add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to backend/.env. You can also set up the keys using the settings dialog on the front-end (click the gear icon after loading the frontend).

Run the frontend:

bash

cd frontend
yarn
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:5173 to use the app.

If you prefer to run the backend on a different port, update VITE_WS_BACKEND_URL in frontend/.env.local

For debugging purposes, if you don't want to waste GPT4-Vision credits, you can run the backend in mock mode (which streams a pre-recorded response):

bash

MOCK=true poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001

Docker

If you have Docker installed on your system, in the root directory, run:

bash

echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
docker-compose up -d --build

The app will be up and running at http://localhost:5173. Note that you can't develop the application with this setup as the file changes won't trigger a rebuild.

🙋‍♂️ FAQs

I'm running into an error when setting up the backend. How can I fix it? Try this. If that still doesn't work, open an issue.
How do I get an OpenAI API key? See https://github.com/abi/screenshot-to-code/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md
How can I configure an OpenAI proxy? - If you're not able to access the OpenAI API directly (due to e.g. country restrictions), you can try a VPN or you can configure the OpenAI base URL to use a proxy: Set OPENAI_BASE_URL in the backend/.env or directly in the UI in the settings dialog. Make sure the URL has "v1" in the path so it should look like this: https://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/v1
How can I update the backend host that my front-end connects to? - Configure VITE_HTTP_BACKEND_URL and VITE_WS_BACKEND_URL in front/.env.local For example, set VITE_HTTP_BACKEND_URL=http://124.10.20.1:7001
Seeing UTF-8 errors when running the backend? - On windows, open the .env file with notepad++, then go to Encoding and select UTF-8.
